deliver an address on the tariff, and a com
mittee of fifteen was appointed to communi-
cate the invitation to Mr.. Carlisle. Consid-
cradle enthusiasm was manifested at the

THE "CHRIsTIAN INDEX"
It was stated some days ago that Dr. H.
II. Tucker had resigned the editorship of
the Christian Hlde;c for business reasons.
1t was limited resignation caused by Mr.
fuckers recent article criticising the Sun
day prohibition meeting, held in the Opera
House by Atlanta ministers, but this was
denied at the time. Mr.. Tucker published
a card this afternoon, i'll which he says:
l did not resign nor do feel as much re-
signed as perhaps ] ought. The severance Of
my connection with the paper was not my seek
ing. 1t was wholly unexpected. Not the least
hint was ever given me that such event would
occIh and not the least dissatisfaction was ever
expressed with my editorial services | greatly
regret the event and have borne few of my dis
appointments with less resignation.
